From the outside to the ^(C1)inner gate were ^(F1)(C2)chambers for the ^(C3)singers in the inner courtyard, one of which was at the ^(F2)side of the north gate, with ^(F3)its front toward the south, and one at the ^(F2)side of the ^(F4)south gate facing north.

Then he said to me, "This is the ^(C1)chamber which faces south, intended for the priests who ^(F1)are ^(C2)responsible for the ^(F2)temple;

but the ^(C1)chamber which faces north is for the priests who ^(F1)are ^(C2)responsible for the altar. They are the ^(C3)sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi ^(C4)come near to the LORD to serve Him."

He measured the courtyard, a perfect square, a ^(C1)hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the ^(F1)temple.

Then he brought me to the ^(C1)porch of the ^(F1)temple and measured each side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and at the ^(C1)stairway by which it was ascended were ^(C2)columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side.
